The contract numbers are in on Broncos’ new nickelback Nathan Jones. Although there were reports his four-year contract can top out at $13.6 million, max money in football contracts — which includes unlikely, if not impossible-to-reach incentives — is a long way from real dollars.

Jones’ total deal is really worth $4.33 million. His $1 million signing bonus and $630,000 salary in 2010 guaranteed.

Jones, 27, also has non-guaranteed base salaries of $800,000 in 2011; $900,00 in 2012 and $1 million in 2012. Still big money for a nickelback/special teams’ standout that was negotiated by Jones’ agent Everette Scott.

In replacing the void in the middle of their offensive line, the Broncos are pursuing the best center available in the free agent market. Run-blocking mauler Rex Hadnot, a center who most recently played with the Cleveland Browns, will visit the Broncos today. The Broncos currently do not have a center after they recently released Casey Wiegmann.

Also visiting the Broncos today are San Francisco offensive guard-tackle Tony Pashos, Miami nickle back Nathan Jones and Baltimore defensive lineman Justin Bannan. The Broncos also hope to arrange a visit with another Ravens’ D-lineman, Dwan Edwards.
